ENDORSED ORDER: A petition for habeas corpus challenging present physical custody generally must be filed in the district of confinement, with the petitioner's immediate custodian named as the respondent. See Rumsfeld v. Padilla, 542 U.S. 426, 434-35, 442-43 (2004). Neither the petition nor the pending emergency motion identifies Petitioner's current place of confinement. See (Doc. 1; 1-2). Accordingly, on or before September 23, 2026, Petitioner is directed to file a notice identifying his current place of confinement, including the name and physical location of the facility where he is presently detained and the governmental authority under whose custody he is being held. Failure to comply may result in dismissal of this action without further notice. Signed by Judge Thomas P. Barber on 9/16/2026. (ANL) (Entered: 09/16/2026)
